- We're using a routine from an X/Motif widget vendor, KL Group, that
- converts a time string to a time_t value (i.e., the number of
- seconds since 12/31/1969), with the added ability to return a
- negative time_t for dates before epoch. We'd like to use this
- algorithm, but it's proprietary :-(. Does anyone have a solid
- algorithm for doing this?
